[IGOTASTi]

And when you open the trunk they will say surprise bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO! I'll have Jared put 3 in the trunk for you.

 

[STi FR3AK]

SWEET! I'll get to make some good ol fashioned midget porn. I think the wife would sit out though.

 

[STi FR3AK]

Well I just got an email from my mom. The car's registration is out so I need to pay for that and I need to send her a copy of proof of insurance. She was riding dirty for the build/tune. No video's until that gets squared away.

I ordered a set of Breast Cancer Awareness Rally Armor mudflaps in Nov. but they got returned due to a post office error. I just sent Rally Armor the shipping fees again and they should arrive soon.

On another note, I'm looking into an Exedy twin disk clutch. My ACT HDSS isn't going to last long lol

 

[toomes]

Like I said on iwsti...please do the rapid engagement delete of you get that clutch

 

[STi FR3AK]

lol what is that?

 

[toomes]

There is a restrictor in the back of the clutch solenoid that needs to be removed.

 

[STi FR3AK]

What happens if it isn't?

 

[STIMANIA]

I like the subtle things.I like the headlight corners and tails that are tinted. Awesome car man!

Tim you talking about Scoobies for boobies that IGOTASTi now sponsors?

 

[toomes]

Tim, I will show you what I am talking about with some pictures if my schedule goes well on Sunday. I have the workshop manual open right now, I believe the 06 clutch setup is slightly different with the cylinders....scrolling through pages and pages for the losss...

Thank you. I'll have to take off the front window tint and possibly the taillight tint for German inspections I'm going to try and get away with just cutting off the top half of the taillights and make it either like this:

or take it off completely and do this:

Yep sure am. I ordered them back in Nov.

K. I read Georges how-to on taking out the tranny but I still have no clue what to do with the clutch.

 

[STi FR3AK]

Well since I already have tint on them, plan A is to keep them on there. Plan B is to only remove what is necessary ie the top half. Plan C would be to paint if NO tint is allow at all. I've seen an M3 with taillight tint on it but he could have done that after getting a 2-year inspection, idk. When my car gets here, I'll try to ask him what he did and where he went for inspection.

 

[STi FR3AK]

So I'm now trying to decide if I should get on a group buy for some whiteline sway bars or get the Killer B oil pickup tube. Decisions decisions....

Do you have sways?

 

[STi FR3AK]

duhhh, everyone does lol No, I don't have any upgraded sways.

 

[BadlandsRacer]

Get the oil pickup. Motor safety first, suspension second. Why in God's name did you do that build without one?!

 

[STi FR3AK]

My mom surprised me with the whole motor build. It was supposed to be kept secret till Xmas time but I put some pieces together a few months back and she spilled the beans. She dropped almost $12k into the build to include all the motor internal parts, machining, a few bolt ons like an AOS and crank pulley, Cobb AP, the labor for everything and the tunes. The oil pickup was in my wishlist but that wasn't included. AFTER the car made as much power it did, the guys at Cobb told my mom that it would need a new clutch soon. She couldn't afford another $2k so that was spared and I guess she didn't know the situation with the stock oil pickups. Nonetheless, I'm getting ready to pull the trigger. The sways are on a good group buy but the oilpick up will still be there is why the decisions are tempting. The car wont be here till Spring time anyway.

 

[BadlandsRacer]

Boy, when I went through my motor build, the first thng I got was the oil pickup! :lol:

...no lie. I think that was literally the VERY first part I purchased.

 

[STi FR3AK]

Ya man, like you said, that's why I was leaning towards the pickup... Sways as an upgrade or preserve the life of $12k!?!
I MIGHT be able to squeeze both but probly not. Not if I want me car to be legal over here... It has a cracked windshield.
